2014 Earth Day celebrations and Farmers' Market at the Toronto Zoo



Saturday, April 26th and Sunday, April 27th
2:00 pm to 6:00 pm

This year the Toronto Zoo is themeing its annual Earth Day celebrations All Things Local.
 Join us for two days where we demonstrate how supporting local food suppliers and leaders in conservation can help to save and protect the planet.
Learn from environmental and conservation organizations about the local projects you can participate in to help habitats, Ontario's bio-diversity and how to protect species in your own back yard.
Why not kick start Ontario's growing season's bounty by purchasing locally grown produce from local farmers at the Toronto Zoo's 2014 Earth Day Farmers' Market? Bring your reusable shopping backs and CASH only sales.

Visit the award winning Tundra Trek to meet members of Toronto's conservation organizations working towards a healthier planet. Take part in Earth Day theme games or create something to help animals with partners and eco-exhibitors such as Toronto Zoo's Adopt-a-Pond and Great Lakes Programs, Earth Day® Canada, Parks Canada and Rouge Park, ZooShare and Polar Bear International.

On your way out, visit Toronto Zoo's 2014 Earth Day Farmers' Market. Local farmers will be onsite with locally grown produce and environmentally friendly products made right here in Ontario's Greenbelt. Speak with farmers themselves to learn about what Ontario has to offer, how you can reduce your carbon footprint by buying locally grown foods and how close these farms are located to your front door.

Saturday, May 3 & Sunday, May 4, 2014
10:00 am to 4:00 pm, Americas Wetlands
Celebrate the arrival of spring by experiencing the sights and sounds of amorous male toads in search of that special someone! Our annual wetland festival is scheduled around the explosive breeding ritual of American toads at our very own Americas Wetlands Outdoor Exhibit. Although the emergence and courtship of toads is the main event, there are heaps of other fun activities for children and adults alike, including: face painting, froggy games like "Fish for a Prize," Toady the Mascot, lessons on tracking wildlife using radio-telemetry, and information on how to become a Frog Watcher or Turtle Detective. It's "toad-ally" fun for the whole family!
